Solar energy is becoming increasingly popular as a form of renewable energy. Solar energy can be used to power cars, lights, homes and other household gadgets. In fact, many people across the U.S. are applying for solar loans in order to get panels on their home and business.

In other cases, some states like California, there are federal tax incentives for the purchases and installation of solar systems like solar photovoltaics (PV) and solar hot water (solar thermal). Over the last 20 years, the West Coast state has been home to a number of “world’s largest” solar facilities, and with continuous solar improvements, that should only increase.
